We told you weeks ago, that Samyang would launch a new AF lens for the X system.
Well, now we have the date: Samyang has just announced the release of a new lens for February 28.
Samyang does not specify more, but we know from previous leaks that it will be the Samyang 75mm f/1.8 AF lens.
You can access previous leaks with images and specs in the linked articles below.
It will be Samyang’s 2nd autofocus X mount lens after the Samyang 12mm f/2 AF.
CP+ started today.
Fujifilm has not announced anything, but I guess we still have to digest all the stuff they launched last year, which was:
It’s fair to give Fujifilm a little break, given how busy they were in 2022.
GFX SYSTEM
What Fujifilm did for CP+, is to tease upcoming products for 2023.
They showcase a mock-up of the upcoming Fujinon GF30mm f/5.6 Tilt Shift lens, but not of the Fujinon GF110mmF5.6 Tilt Shift, which, according to the statements Fujifilm managers did during the September X summit, should also come in 2023.
They also show a silhouette of the Fujinon GF55mm f/1.7, which personally is the lens I am looking forward the most. We already shared hands-on images of the GF55mmF1.7 here.
X SYSTEM
For the X system, we get a silhouette of the Fujinon XF8mmF3.5.
The Fujinon XF8mmF3.5 became part of the Fujifilm X mount roadmap and during the X summit in May 2022.
Fujifilm did share technical sketches of the lens in May already, and we used them to compare the size of the Fujinon XF8mmF3.5 to other wide angle lenses such as the Fujinon XF14mmF2.8, the Zeiss Touit 12mmF2.8 and the Laowa 9mm f/2.8 (but the Laowa has no autofocus.
But if Fujifilm did not launch anything at CP+, to make the beginning of 2023 interesting for Fujifilm shooters are third party lens manufacturers.
We have the lovely Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8, a couple of new Voigtländer lenses, the Samyang 75mm f/1.8 as well as Sigma 23mm f/1.4 coming soon and even a couple of new AF Yongnuo lenses.
Some of those lenses are at display at the CP+ in Japan right now and you can find the images below in this article.
I will share all images in this article and below you can find the link to the sources.
Not only autofocus lenses. Also the recently announced Tokina SZ 300mm PRO Reflex F7.1 MF CF is displayed at CP+,.
A few days ago we shared an image of a mysterious 33mm f/1.4 autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount and we speculated it could be a Yongnuo lens.
Well, our speculations were correct. And moreover, this will not be the only AF lens coming from Yongnuo for Fujifilm.
Yongnuo will launch the following three lenses autofocus for Fujifilm X mount according to the Camerabeta at the Chinese Weibo social media here.
The new Yongnuo lenses are going to have some stiff competition:
Yongnuo 23mm f/1.4 vs…
Yongnuo 33mm f/1.4 vs…
Yongnuo 56mm f/1.4 vs…
Good luck Yongnuo!
Given the latest rumors, news and pre-announcements, it is time to update our full list of third party AF X mount lenses.
A new third party 33mm f/1.4 autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount has now appeared on the Chinese social media platform Weibo (via Camerabeta).
I just got a new domestic automatic lens, 33mm F1.4, and the Fuji X mount version will be launched. At present, the price and release time are still uncertain. It is said that the price is very good. You can look forward to it.
The only thing we got is the image above.
The brand is still unkown, but some point out the similarity to some of the Yongnuo AF lenses available for other mounts.
Until now, besides the Fujinon XF 33mm f/1.4, we have the following third party 33mm f/1.4 autofocus lenses already:
